Scratch Perverts reunite as JFB brings seven decks to DMC World Finals
Scratch Perverts return and JFB performs on seven turntables as the DMC World Finals brings battles and showcases to KOKO in London on 14 November.
Scratch Perverts will reunite at the DMC World DJ Championships World Finals at KOKO on 14 November 2026, alongside a seven-turntable performance from JFB. Organisers are billing the Scratch Perverts appearance as their first performance together in over 20 years.
The group will also be inducted into the DMC Hall of Fame during the event. Their return is part of a programme that combines the championship finals with performances from former winners, live rap, and breaking showcases, before an official afterparty at Dingwalls.
JFB’s set gives drum and bass listeners a particular reason to watch. The Brighton DJ, whose releases include material on Jungle Cakes and Hospital Records, will perform using seven Technics turntables. His work moves between drum and bass, hip hop, funk, and breakbeat, applying the scratching and technical control of battle DJing to club sets and routines.
At the centre of the day are four competitive categories: Classic, Open, Scratch, and Supremacy. The finals follow the Battleground eliminations at THEATA on 13 November, with the main KOKO programme running from 1pm to 9pm the following day. The official programme lists the finals as a 14-plus event.
A-Trak, Skratch Bastid, DJ Noize, and The Golden Era Allstars are also on the bill, while Monie Love performs live and the UK B-Boy Champs Allstars bring a breaking showcase. Alongside Scratch Perverts, DJ Noize will receive a Hall of Fame induction.
Presented by Technics, this is DMC’s 41st edition, returning to the city where the championships began in 1985 after last year’s event in Tokyo. London hosts both the elimination rounds and the world finals this November, with separate ticket options for each day.
Once the KOKO programme finishes, the official afterparty takes place at Dingwalls in Camden from 9pm to 3am. Scratch Perverts, A-Trak, Craze, and Skratch Bastid are among the names announced by the organisers, with Killa Kela hosting. The afterparty has its own ticket listing.
The World Finals takes place at KOKO, 1A Camden High Street, London, on Saturday 14 November 2026. Tickets for the eliminations, finals, and afterparty are available through DMC’s official website.
